Theoretical Fluctuations of Conductance in Stretched Monatomic Nanowires
Recent experiments showed that the last, single channel conductance step in monatomic gold contacts exhibits significant fluctuations as a function of stretching. From simulations of a stretched gold nanowire linked to deformable tips, we determine the distribution of the bond lengths between atoms forming the nanocontact and analyze its influence on the electronic conductance within a simplifi...
متن کاملHydrogen dissociation over Au nanowires and the fractional conductance quantum.
The dissociation of H2 molecules over stretched Au nanowires and its effect on the conductance are analyzed using a combination of density functional theory (DFT) total energy calculations and nonequilibrium Keldysh-Green function methods. Our DFT simulations reproduce the characteristic formation of Au monatomic chains with a conductance close to G0=2e2/h. These stretched Au nanowires are show...
متن کاملConductance oscillations in zigzag platinum chains.
Using first principles simulations we perform a detailed study of the structural, electronic, and transport properties of monatomic platinum chains, sandwiched between platinum electrodes. First, we demonstrate that the most stable atomic configuration corresponds to a zigzag arrangement that gradually straightens as the chains are stretched. Second, we find that the averaged conductance shows ...
متن کاملMicroscopic origin of the 1.3 G(0) conductance observed in oxygen-doped silver quantum point contacts.
Besides the peak at one conductance quantum, G0, two additional features at ∼0.4 G0 and ∼1.3 G0 have been observed in the conductance histograms of silver quantum point contacts at room temperature in ambient conditions. In order to understand such feature, here we investigate the electronic transport and mechanical properties of clean and oxygen-doped silver atomic contacts by employing the no...
متن کاملWhy Do Suspended Wires Thin down , and Why Is the Monatomic Wire Stretched
We have examined theoretically the spontaneous thinning process of tipsuspended nanowires, and subsequently studied the structure and stability of the monatomic gold wires recently observed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The methods used include thermodynamics, classical many-body force simulations, Local Density (LDA) and Generalized Gradient (GGA) electronic structure calculations...
